Ok... I've heard some W&L people are browsing this thread... So let me clarify a few things!
Do I think that it was right that SigEp lost their charter?
No.
I have a lot of friends in the chapter. They are awesome.
Do I think they have an uphill battle to acheive recognition?
Yes.
I knew it would be difficult because of our administrative climate, as well as the sentiment of our local IFC.
Do I think SigEp nationals was kinda crazy?
Yeah.
Do I think that the chapter was strong?
Yes.
They had good numbers and a real diversity of guys. They were/are definately one of the most progressive groups on campus.
Do I think that SigEp could probably justify itself in its actions to some degree?
Yes.
Every chapter on my campus, and many of the chapters I read about on GC tell stories of great chapters that don't necessarily manage their risks appropriately. It can happen to any chapter, and one thing my chapter strives for is for strict risk management because we're aware of the dangers to ourselves and we don't want to risk our charter.
What I'm saying goes for almost every fraternity chapter I know--not just this particular one. Many chapters have done things for which their nationals could justify themselves in taking charters. A very watchful nationals especially...
